Personal Correspondence: Incoming, January-July 1944, Part 1 Special edition of "Labor", weekly 4-page paper of 15 standa~d rail­ road brotherhoods being circula ted in behalf of Senator Shipstead. The first copy has been received by Harry Bender, Chairman of the State Legislative Committee for the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks , who h8s taken a leave of bsence to~devote full time to the Shipstead oampaign up to July 8th. He normally arks fQ( the Great No rthern Railroad. Bender says 25 , 000 copies of the sheet will be distributed in Minnesota to all railroad workers and to railway mail olerks first , and the bal anoe for general house-to-house distr1bution. The paper is issued under a da teline of Washington, D. C., June 22. The front page also pOints out that it i s being paid for by the r ailroad brotherhoods. It has a front page editorial in behalf of Shlpstead signed by the presidents of the 15 brotherhood organiza tions. These signAtures do not include Whitney and Johnson, heads of the brotherhoods that struok a few ~e ek8 ago. The front page heading reads : tehipstead Enti tled to Vi ctory. Ne ver Deserted Peoples' Interests." A smaller headline r eads: "First of all a farmer, but he seeks justi ce f or every class." It states to the effect that the coopera tive movement 1s safeguarded by Shipste d , that he 1s the father of the REA , and a sturdy defender of it. It has a tribute from Bill Green in a l ett er to Ge orge Lawson and R story about Shipst~ad battling ~ for fair f arm prices. There is also a stor¥. highlight ng:his Norwegiqn ancestry. It h s endorsements from Senator EdWin C. Johnson. Demoorat of Colorado and from Sen tor Arthur Oapper, Republi can of Kans s . It has a story ~bout' Shipstead ftghtlng to save the M & St.L Railroad. It has a story Whi ch says his record of aid to veter Rns is per fect. It contains a copy of " his keynote speech. Favorable quotations from ,the state papers and an account of Shipstead's support for o~d age pensions are contained. The same kind of thing has been done by the same groups in Shlpstead 's past campaigns. -2- Our friend Joe Ball really threw a bombshell by his actions, but time alone will tell what results will be concerning his political future. Personally, I think that while. he created a terrific enmity within the Republican Party that so far as he is concerned personally, if renomin­ ated he will not lose any votes in a general election. Of course, Ed Thye won in a walk and carried most of the Re­ publicans with him. I was over at the Capitol the other day and saw Les Badger who is just recovering from pneumonia but apparently feeling pretty good. Fred Hughes, Ernie Messner, and Paul Albrecht were all looking fine and apparently feeling good. I am planning to go over to St. Paul again in the near future, and I am going to make it a point to drop in and see Esther and say hello. I have seen Vi and her husband and Elmer and Venice not too long ago, and they were all feeling good at that time. You perhaps know that they are reopening the big plant at Rosemount and reopening some sections again at New Breighton, although labor is pretty short in this area at this time. I see bob Smith once in awhile, and as you know, he is Vice President of Investors Syndicate in charge of sales and has quite a job on his hands. He is working hard, however, and I think he is going to do a good job. I saw Charlie Stone awhile baCk, and he has bought a house in south Minneapolis within the past year. I think Charlie is doing a very good job as Deputy Commissioner of Taxation. I saw Maurie Hursh who is looking fine, and I often wish I had his even going temperament. As you know, they have four children, and Mrs. Hursh was in the hospital with TB not only of the lungs but, as I understand it, it permeated her entire system. I don't believe they expected her to live, but she made a miraculous recovery and is back home doing her housework once again. I don't know of any other particulaT news, Harold, that would be interesting to you but will try to write you again in the not too dis­ tant future. I know you are busy, but if you ever have time, I would certainly enjoy having a line from you. In the meantime, I hope that you succeed in keeping a piece of dry hulk under your feet and that the best the Japs can do on your ship is a far miss. Please accept my very best wishes for a safe and speedy return. SOMEWHERE I H THE SOU T H PACIFIC WELCOME BACK COMSOPAC He's home again from the hunting; Though it's not the season's end, He has bagged this sortie' s limit As he will again, my friend. You see, it's open season And traps are never barred, In this hunt it's hit often, Hit fast, and hit 'em hard. He started off the fracas, Not by remote control, He went right in to rout 'em And run 'em up a pole. Now that he's got it going And it is running jake, He's back to scheme another And bigger Jap headache. So, one of these fine mornings Old Tojo's going to learn That Admiral Halsey means it When he says, til' 11 call the turn. n Harold C. Fox, Ylc, USN My Dear Harold: I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to you for your last letter. It hanpened to arrive on a day . vihich had been a little dhficult-- as you have guessed the snipers have been aiming their shots with telling accuracy. I don't mind what they think of me-- but I wouldn't want to hurt Joe or you. And for you as well as Joe to understand so completely means a great deal to me. I have a feeling from various people I have talked to that the other party takes our candidate more seriously than his own. Which shows how good he must be! But I know he is being talked about a lot at various gatherings and over the tea-cups-- which is all to the good. I have always felt that is a darn good way of doing the trick. With my best-- .t' young l!hglish officer put up at a famous Park Avenue hotel, neglecting to ask the room rate first, On his departure, he was . i'? given his bill. rie gazed at it a moment and then sought the : cashier. !lAm I correct," he asked , "in assuming that suggestions from your patrons are welcome?"

But from this chaos, daily, like a hospice on the way, Like a shining light to guide us, rises Doug's Communique. For should vIe fail to get the mail t if prisoners won't talk, If radios are indisposed and carrier pigeons walk, VTe have no fear because we'll hear tomorrow's news today And see our operations plan in Doug's COhlmunique. Here, too, is told the saga bold, of virile deathless youth In stories seldom tarnished vlith the plain unvarnished truth. It's quite a rag. it waves the flag, its motif is the fray, - And modesty is plain to see, in Doug's Cormnunique. "My battleships bombard the Nips from l·1aine to Singapore. My subs have sunk a million tons, they'll sink a billion more.

His area is quite cosmic, and capricious as a breeze; Ninety times as big as Texas, bigger than Los Angeles, It springs from lost ATLANTIS; up to where the Angels play; And no sparrow falls unheeded, it's in Doug's Cormnunique. He used to say, HAnd vii th God t s helpu, but lately it has seemed That his patience is exhausted, and God's on his second team. And the Cabots and the Lodges, too, have lon~ ceased to pray That they'll even squeeze a byline into Doug's Communique. And while possibly a rumor now, someday it will be fact That the Lord will hear a deep voice say. "Move over God, itt s 11ac." , So bet your shoes that all the news, that last great Judgement Day, Vlill go to press in nothing less than Doug's COLrraunique.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Dear Comdr. stassen: I am writing this letter in anticipation of V-J Day and our actual return to civilian life and economy. I have followed your political career with great interest both while you were Governor of Minnesota and a delegate to UNCIO at San Francisco. As a Republican and one who, like many others in that party" has been searching for a leader to show us the way out of this political wilderness -- I am happy to note that you are both a progressive and a Re­ publican. You know it's possible to be both -- and still not lean to the left or right but follow a middle path -- guiding this country through the perils of both sides. It's gotten so that if one disagrees with the doctrines of the right OD left" he's a fascist or a communist -- this line of thought is stupid but it's beco~g more and more prevalent. The reason for this letter is to put myself on record as willing to back and work for you in the forthcoming presidential election -- both for the Republican nomination and election. I realize that While you are in service you can't actively campaign -- nor can I. I too am in service stationed at Angel Island" California" where we process and escort Japanese POW's coming in from the combat zones.

  • Saltonstall Family Collection, 1825-2002
    99 Main Street, Haverhill, MA 01830 978-373-1586 ext. 642 http://www.haverhillpl.org/information-services/local-history-2/ Saltonstall Family Collection, 1825-2002 Collection Summary Reference Code: MRQ, US. Repository: Special Collections, Haverhill Public Library, Haverhill, Massachusetts. Call Number: MSS 39 Collector: Haverhill Public Library Title: Saltonstall Family Collection, 1825-2002 Dates: 1825-2002 Size: .209 linear feet (1 box) Language(s): Collection materials are in English. Abstract: This collection is comprised of materials that were collected by the Haverhill Public Library related to the Saltonstall family. Biographical Sketches Nathaniel Saltonstall was born in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in about 1639, to Richard Saltonstall (1610–1694) and Murial Gurdon. He graduated from Harvard College in 1659. In 1663, he married Elizabeth Ward (1647–1714), the daughter of Rev. John Ward of Haverhill, and received the acres lying east of her father’s home as a wedding gift. They built a house called Saltonstall Seat. They had four children: Gurdon Saltonstall (1666–1724); Elizabeth Saltonstall (1668–1726); Col. Richard Saltonstall (1672–1714); and Nathaniel Saltonstall (1674–1739). In 1668, Saltonstall began his career in town affairs when he was appointed town clerk. His involvement in judicial affairs and reputation made him eligible to serve in the Salem Witch Trials, and he was appointed a judge along with six other men on May 27, 1692. There is no evidence, however, of his attendance at any of the examinations. Indeed, he resigned from the Court of Oyer and Terminer around June 8, 1692, the same time as Bridget Bishop's trial and sentence for witchcraft.
